i will say when george w. bush was in office, i know a lot of people on the left made fun of him, but they should have. he took almost as much as four times off. >> the president took more vacation than any modern president. >> right. >> he made 77 trips just to his texas ranch, spending all or part of 490 days. i mean, so vacations are fine as long as they're in texas. >> right. and can i also say about martha's vineyard, because have i relatives that live there. anybody who wants to call it elitist is crazy because it's one of the few american vacation spots like summer colonies that has had a tradition of being diverse. black people have been going there for vacation since the 1800s. and i happen to like that our commander in chief is living a life as a leader and trying to lead by example and showing, hey, black people, white people, all kinds of people can vacation together. >> it is an eclectic place, but very much diverse. >> right. >> and to be fair, presidents work on vacations. >> of course they do.
